Kettlebell

45

Kettlebell training will render impressive results for strength, endurance and muscle toning by challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular systems with dynamic, total body movements. Kettlebells can be used in ballistic (explosive) swinging movements utilizing the whole body along with momentum or used in more traditional press and squat exercises. The displacement of the weight from the hand requires that the stabilizing muscles engage more with each movement, which is different than other forms of weight training because many parts of the body are exercised simultaneously. Kettlebell exercises are whole-body exercises requiring full body integration and core stabilization. There is no such thing as isolated muscle work in kettlebell training. In addition, kettlebell training elevates the heart rate for effective cardiovascular training.

This class is a mixture of skill-building and high-intensity circuit training making for both a fun and challenging experience. The intensity of the session can be modified by using different sizes of kettlebells or by changing the number of repetitions. For this reason beginners and those with experience can participate in the same class.
